AN ATTEMPT To BREAK JAIL.-Edward Wind
sor, prisoner in Jail here, awaiting trial on
the charge of stealing boat at Havre de Grace,
made an unsuccessful effort to get out, this
week. He was confined in one of the cells on
the first floor and with the aid of G. ca se-knife
had almost sawed off the rivet ON the inside
which holds the massive bar of his cell. The
noise he made in scratching on the rivet was
overheard by Sheriff Jarrett on Tuesday morn
ing and he was removed to another cell. 1t was
probably his intention to make dash for lib
erty, when the outside door was opened in the
morning, and if he had gotten out of his cell
the chances of escape were good.

KICHMOSD's GROWTH.

The Confederate veterans who visit
Richmond this week will be struck with
the difference between the city as 1t was
in 1851 and now. The material FOL
natural and healthy growth is apparent
in the comparison. Richmond under all
the disadvantages resulting from the war
and the sudden change of our institutions
has doubled its wealth, and besides that,
has changed her character from a merely
big town to a modern city.
The opportunities now before her
which home enterprise and outside capi
tai can use are far ahead of any Southern
city, and occupying the gateway Of the
South, the position is extremely favor
able to a rapid advance from the point OF
vantage We occupy now.
The six railway lines that centre here
are supplemented by magnificent water
transportation, and the fall OF the river
in front of the city is so great in short
distance as to give unrivalled facilities
for manufacturing.
All the railways have common grade
for the exchange Of transportation neal
the water front and on the same leye
with vessels Of large capacity.
II cannot be denied that the great adj
yantages of Richmond thus far have not
been appreciated, and that her own
people should set tie example Of making
use of them to show the outside worl1
what can be done if capital will come

Tomorrow the United States Supreme
Court will hear argument on the applica-
ton Of the Chicago Anarchists fora witt
of error, the plea being that the jury
was empanelled under State law that
was unconstitutional 1t is not likely
that the Anarchists will get any comfort
from the Supreme Court. but the fact
that the court hears the case in this ap'
pllcstion shows how far the jurisdiction
Of the Supreme Court goes when there
is any question under the Constitution.
II will really be a hearing on the cues

CHICAGO, Oct. 24-Chicago is now the
home Of two humorlsts Of national reputa
ton, Opie Pope Read. of The Arkansaw Trav-
eler, and Eugene Field, whose humorous and
satirical work on The Chicago News has been
the leading feature OF that paper for the past
five years. Mr. Read this year moved
his paper from Little Rock, Ark, TO Chicago,
and expects TO reside permanently in this
city hereafter. Mr. Field recently spent a
month in Boston and New York and was
shown much attention by the literary people
of the effete east He was the guest most of
the time OF Julian Hawthorne, and am told
that a well known New York editor made
Mr.. Field an offer Of Sl2j a week to take a
position on leading metropolitan daily.
Mr. Field had Just entered into "a second five
years contract with The Daily News at 500
a week, and will, consequently, remain in
Chicago until 1892. At the expiration of this
contract he will, in all probability, take up
his residence in the east His first preten-
tious book appears this fall 1t is com
pilatiOn Of the satirical sketches which have
appeared from time 20 time from his pen. and
is issued by the Ticknors, of Boston.
Mr. Field comes Of a distinguished family.
His father was Judge II. NJ Field, Of Mis-
souri,, one Of the most gifted barristers the
west ever knew. He was the attorney for
the negro bred Scott, who was the plaintiff
in the famous case in the supreme court Of

THE DEMOCRATIC CANVASS.

tistrue that the Malone string IL an
old one to harp on, but II has scope enough
TO enable Mahone's political dead-march
TO be performed on 1t II the State Com
mittee will take hold Of the work all over
the State at once. Mr.. Barbour and bis as.
sistants have the confidence of the people,
and are thoroughly acquainted with the
management OF the party in every pre-
cinct of the State.
The defeat Of the Virginia Democracy
in the last congressional election really
has but little significance in the chances
Of the present contest, for the difference
between a national and local election Is
not the same as when Republican mem
beers of Congress had the patronage OF a
Republican Administration. Therefore,
the lack Of interest on the part OF the
Democrats in the congressional tight is
so far explained az not TO have proper
tionate relation in the election OF MEM
bers OF the Legislature. In the absence
OF other issues, besides the personal Ma
hone the committee and the speakers and
the canyassers should remember that gen
orally it is the party that organizes and
works best that wins.
II is useless at this late day in the can
yass to raise ali excitement on the debt
question when the Republicans do not
materially differ from the Democrats, and
when the subject merely causes a dispute
about the position of the States authori'
ties in opposition TO the Federal courts.
